Movie thoughts 11-10-2013

There are apparently three documentaries about One Direction. Isn’t that at least one too many? I am not saying that the band doesn’t deserve a documentary but three in a year seems like a bit much.

I wonder if there will really be a Doc Savage movie. I know there is supposed to be one. However the Lone Ranger movie bombed, could that make the producers nervous? Doc is a bit obscure compared to Batman or Superman or Spider-man. I haven’t heard anything about the movie lately. Last I heard/read is that finding the right actor to play Doc is challenging..

Valiant still wants to bring Shadowman to the big screen. (There was no new news on this but I wanted to mention it.) Bloodshot is apparently also in development. A Bloodshot movie could be fun but a Ninjack movie could be really cool.

Nightwing is rumored to be in the Superman Batman movie. Well that could be interesting. There are 3 contenders but only one name has been released. That actor is Adam Driver from HBO”s Girls. I am not familiar with him at all.

The fifth Bourne movie has a director, Justin Lin. I am not sure if this kills any possibility of Matt Damon coming back. Damon has said that he would come back if Paul Greengrass came back as director.
